Produktbeschreibung

Essay from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, grade: 85/100, Birkbeck, University of London (Law), course: Human Rights, language: English, abstract: This research endeavours to explain that the stories of legendary women of the past should not be neglected, since they provide valid examples that clarify the reasons for female exclusion from power. Moreover, it is therefore also natural to wonder why their femininity was ripped away from them. Antigone, Clytemnestra and Medea are criminals, and their outrageous actions go against natural and positive law. They are not women. Furthermore, in order to give them back their womanhood, they must be disempowered. Further reflections will seek to find answers to the main question of the research: how can their stories contribute to explain women's exclusion from power today? History demonstrated to be the theatre of the oppressed, the stage in which the characters have proved to excel in abusing and taking advantage of the losers of the game, the oppressed. Among them lie women, who have certainly always been kept in the back row during men's performance. More specifically, women were and are still taken away from the power, a matter that has ultimately been reserved exclusively for manhood.
